***OFFICIAL 2009 NFL DRAFT*** (1 Viewer)

[RBM]

Wow English to rush the passer with Merriman and Phillips

 

[TwinTurbo]

Amazing that Michael Oher is still on the board. Someone is going to make out like a bandit picking him.

Totally agree. I think he may turn out to be the best OT in the draft.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

How many other Lions fans are hoping Oher drops to #20?

 

[T Bell]

Chris Berman having trouble making his point as usual.

Hard to make what doesn't exist. It's kind of like saying "Chris Berman is having trouble parting his hair."

 

[jurb26]

If Det ends up with Oher at 20 this draft couldn't have been any better for them.

 

[Mighty Mice]

Diidn't see English going here. not a huge need. Good on the Chargers though, I think the kid is a baller. Thought maybe Ayers here.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I dont know how Maybin plays DE at his size. I thought he fit more as a 3-4 OLB.

Bills can play Kelsay/Denney on early downs. They need speed on the edge. He's got the size to put on some weight.

Does that make him a 1 down player at pick #11 until he puts on weight?

probably, for this year. could take over for Schobel at RDE after a year or two.

 

[money.never.sleeps]

Hmm.. Not sure about this pick for SD.

Not that familiar with English.

 

[T Bell]

If Det ends up with Oher at 20 this draft couldn't have been any better for them.

I don't want to count any chickens, but I'm pulling for Lions fans. I'm hoping that they turn things around.

 

[LHUCKS]

English is a bad pick because they could have traded down and he'd still be there.

 

[Native]

If Det ends up with Oher at 20 this draft couldn't have been any better for them.

Man I hope so. They might even consider trading up three picks to get him - probably wouldnt cost them for then a 5th rounder...

 

[millertyme1]

Expect Denver to go with Freeman

 

[Bonzai]

Browns look like geniuses for trading down. Great options here.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

If Det ends up with Oher at 20 this draft couldn't have been any better for them.

I think they shopuld go up and get him.

 

[noneother]

Expect Denver to go with Freeman

wells, mccoy and Brown are available too!!

 

[Oof!]

God, I love the draft.

 

[MSULions]

How many other Lions fans are hoping Oher drops to #20?

with that silly larry english pick, it looks like they'll have their choice of Oher or Malauga....i would be ecstatic with either. AND it would shut up the Curry lovers to address LB in the 1st after all...

 

[Mighty Mice]

DEN has to be looking at DE at 18 - Ayers or Brown. I think the best value is on O. Maclin or Oher.

Can't see the Donkeys going offense TWICE in the first with that abomination of a defense.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

English is a bad pick because they could have traded down and he'd still be there.

there is no possible way to know if this is true. also, trading down requires finding a team interested in trading up.

 

[Bonzai]

Freeman?

 

[JZilla]

Muscle Milk!!!!

 

[gigantor]

browns wheelin and dealin

 

[5-ish Finkle]

I'll bet Tampa's phone is ringing off the hook right about now from teams wanting to get in front of Detroit to try and land Oher.

Or not. Friggin' lag.

 

[munchkin]

I'm surprised at all the hate for the Moreno pick. The Broncos took by far the best player available at that spot. The fact that they have 47 scrub RBs on their roster doesn't make it a bad pick.

Didn't think he's the best player available there. That defense was the worst in the league last year. GL to having Kyle Orton as a gun slinger.The beginning of the McDaniels era to present may be the worst X month span in NFL history by a new coach.

The fact that Denver's defense was bad doesn't mean that Moreno wasn't the best player on the board. You can argue they need defensive players to improve the team's performance on that side of the ball but it doesn't make Moreno less of a player.

 

[MrPhoenix]

TB has traded up 2 spots to 17.

Freeman is my guess. I think they were worried about Denver.

 

[RedRaiders]

Nice shill job by Clay Matthews. Um, you're going to be a millionaire in an hour or so....

 

[Mighty Mice]

Cleveland moved again. Hope they got a better deal this time.

 

[Boston]

English is a bad pick because they could have traded down and he'd still be there.

The Pats at #23 were rumored to be looking at him.I like this pick for the Chargers...you can never go wrong with a pass-rusher who won't have a big contract. That's usually a big asset. If this kid is legit and Merriman returns to form than San Diego's D will go back to being a big play D (as well as having solid fantasy value).

 

[Boltz Boy]

English is a bad pick because they could have traded down and he'd still be there.

That was my thought too, but you don't know if anyone was willing to trade picks. (*edit- and then TB trades up immediately after) SD doesn't have another pick until the 3rd, and you're not going to find a top tier OLB/DE that late. English is really a boom or bust type, he was dominant against lower-tier competition so this is definitely a gamble.

 

[HellToupee]

Freeman will be a mistake here

 

[Wyld Stallyns]

TB: Ayers?

Also, did CLE get the #19? Anyone know?

 

[FreeBaGeL]

I think Cleveland is just going to keep trading down until they have the entire 7th round.

 

[fatness]

That guy reporting on Tampa on NFL Network looks like his head got slammed in a door.

 

[MrPhoenix]

The Browns must be pretty confident whoever they want at 17 will be there at 19.

 

[EBF]

Browns take Harvin or Maclin at #19 IMO.

 

[millertyme1]

Wow it's Freeman. I really thought he'd fall into Round 2.

 

[noneother]

The Browns must be pretty confident whoever they want at 17 will be there at 19.

wells?

 

[Native]

Freeman to the Bucs. Interesting pick by Tampa.

 

[MrPhoenix]

TB: Ayers?Also, did CLE get the #19? Anyone know?

Tampa sends 19th overall and a 6th rounder this year to move to 17th overall.

 

[RedRaiders]

Just a 6th rounder? Draft economy is the suck this year apparently.

 

[Mighty Mice]

A 6th rounder? Only two spots, but really...what have they gained with these trade downs? A 2nd, a 6th, and 3 bench player. The #5 pick was worth more.

 

[Jason Wood]

Wow, Freeman at 17. Just don't see it.

 

[MrPhoenix]

The Browns must be pretty confident whoever they want at 17 will be there at 19.

wells?

That'd be my first guess.

 

[Billy1x]

Oher might slide right into the Lions laps at 20. Hopefully, Ayers is there, too.

Shaping up nicely for the Lions. I think Freeman goes to Denver with their next pick.

To late. He's gone

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Denver may draft Beanie.

 

[lyon812]

Maclin would be a nice fit for the Browns. Or hell, even Britt.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Just a 6th rounder? Draft economy is the suck this year apparently.

bailout package needed.

 

[3nOut]

...and with the 18th pick of the 2009 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select Jay Cutler, QB, Denver Broncos...

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Denver may draft Beanie.

 

[Bob Henry]

I could see another trade coming up here. So much value on the board right now. Lions and Eagles are licking their chops.
